Are you done stocking up?

I got my ejuicesteals tracking today, supposed to have 26 5-packs of the 0.5 ohm kanger Claptons plus two toptank mini spare glass.

No emails or refunds showing on my cc, so in theory it'll be the full order.

(I definitely don't plan to use the ttm rba, bought it strictly for drop-in heads.)

What have I done? My son was always talking about his exploits at cloud competitions with his original Doge RDA and Pi IPV 3 mod.

Not to be outdone, and in a stunning role reversal, I bought a Doge V2, an X2, a version 3, and a Vol. 4. That's it, I'm ready for the vacopolypse. The V2 and X2 were on sale at a deep discount.

I'll leave them to him in my will, so he'll have the set.

I just ordered a bunch more 510 heat sinks from FT. They may come in 3 months dripping in coronavirus seeing as China is at a stand still. I dont know. But I can always sterilize them in my Instant Pot.

I hope that they get that thing under control soon.

I don't know if this is even relevant. But, my order for heat sinks from FastTech was delivered today (2/6), ordered on January 15th, so basically 3-weeks. Tracking was virtually worthless.

FWIW, they seem nice. How effective is yet to be determined. Kinda cool looking though, LOL. They DO get very warm, which means heat drawn from the tank or not transmitted to it.

    So what do you think about those Kanger top tanks from central vapor? Are they good clones? What all do they come with.

    They came in small boxes with just enough room for the tank with a coil installed. I don’t have an authentic one to compare to but the one I’m using now seems fine. The threads seem smooth and the Clapton coils I bought elsewhere fit nicely. So far so good.

    I got the pico x because I can find the fire button with a gloved hand. I'm interested in the swag ii because it has a bigger deck.
    Well I didn't know there was a Swag II! My mod awareness has dropped off considerably since stocking up in 2016 and doing nothing until buying a bunch of Solos for myself 6 months ago.

    Welcome to the club! Nobody (hardly) knows me here because I was riding on my stock for years before my recent return. Don't know why I returned exactly, but there are some interesting new mods out there now. Even good to use with my old faithful Aspire Nautilus.

    Does she use silicone sleeves to help protect her picos? I have never had any of these problems with picos. Not even stripped battery caps like others say.

    Might want to look into the Cold Steel 100 mod by EH pro. I haven't had mine for long, but it does seem to be built well and it's small in the hand. Smaller than a Pico overall and more "ergonomic".

    However, it's kind of a strange design. Kinda like a box mod and a tube mod had a baby together :eek:

    It also takes both 18650 and 20700 & 21700 batteries.

    It's not a water/dust/shock proof though, like the Aegis line.

    I've been eyeing that one for a while now. But my wife is eyeing the budget even more closely ever since she saw how expensive it is to pay for the kids' college. Her consistently dying PICOs along with the new legislature in VA state congress about making online purchases for anything vape-related illegal has started to loosen her purse strings.

    Have you considered an asmodus colossal? They’re nice and small. Only question would be how she feels about a touch screen. There’s a discount code good for one use only, someone will pipe in with it if you’re interested. Also, I can take a picture of it next to a pico if you want

    You're not alone. It's easy to do. version 2 comes out 2-4 months after version 1 so it's easy to not keep up. It gets old really fast...for me anyway.

    I just showed her pictures of both. She is all about the Swag, but thanks!

    You should be able to find the Swag v1 much cheaper than the Swag v2. Keep that in mind. From what I read (IIRC), the only difference is that the Swag 2 does TC better, but the Swag 1 has a better build quality. But be sure to do your own research, of course.

    I'm out of practice when it comes to researching, but I used to be a jedi. Recently I've just relied on all you fine folks!

    Well at least FT stuff seems to always come in zip lock baggies. So what's inside may be fine. It's just the wrapping you have to worry about. :D

    Do the kanger toptanks come with a rba (included)? I might order a few at central vapors if they do!
